The next roundtable feeding into the design of the government's First Nations Clean Energy Strategy is being held on 7 - 8 November in Wollongong, NSW.

The Federal Government and State and Territory Energy Ministers committed in August 2022 to co-design a First Nations Clean Energy Strategy to ensure First Nations people help drive the energy transformation, with the Strategy to be implemented in 2024.

Ministers cited the Strategy development as an opportunity to review laws, regulation and policy, lift barriers and implement regulatory reform, and to stoke government investment in innovation, technology and infrastructure, so that First Nations people can share in and benefit from the renewable energy boom.

The strategy involves roundtables and consultations in collaboration with partners including the First Nations Clean Energy Network, the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, and the National Indigenous Australians Agency.

The First Nations Clean Energy and Emissions Reduction Advisory Committee is also providing advice to support the development of the First Nations Clean Energy Strategy.
